OUR TIME PRESS THE L OCAL PAPER WITH THE G LOBAL VIEW

| VOL. 23 NO. 10

March 7-13, 2019 |

Since 1996

TIMELESS WOMEN: Inspiration for All Ages Dr. Glory Van Scott, the model for Elizabeth Catlett’s famous 1981 bronze bust "Glory," asked why she was chosen to be the subject. Ms. Catlett responded, “There’s something ancient about you. From another time.” The sculpture, later, inspired a composition by Rufus Reid, the jazz bassist-composer. In describing what moved him about Catlett’s work, Reid told a writer, “There's angst in the face. There’s power in the face. There’s maybe some anger in the face. And, yet, composure in the face.” This March, Women’s Month, Our Time Press explores the essence of Dr. Scott, cousin of Emmett Till, and other women who answer to callings from another time. (BG)
